Ask yourself if you'd like to work for a company that has no issue setting unpaid assessment tasks that, by their estimation, should take at least 3 hours to complete. Had an initial chat with HR and was then sent the assessment task. On principle I dislike doing work for free, and the task they sent is genuinely beyond the pale. It's not that the questions themselves were difficult, it's that they weren't hypothetical situations so it felt like I was just troubleshooting problems for them.
